Layout is ART.
Code is the MECHANICS that makes it reproducible.
Most layouts for the average novel are very simple. Very easy to code for. Very easy to make look good. But one thing I would not do is try to duplicate the pBook layout. I would do it so it works on a Reader because duplicating the pBook layout is where the publishers really let the shit hit the fan and then get splattered all over themselves.

To be serious, why doesn't someone at the publishers tell the eBooks makers that the are doing it all wrong?
